Ruina scouted around for someone to take over direction of both CCR and a new Behavioral Sciences assignment. He found his man in Dr. J. C. R. Licklider; By the beginning of 1964 this change was reflected in renaming [Command and Control Research] the office Information Processing Techniques, a title that continued unchanged into the 1970s; In the Command and Control Research office, renamed Information Processing Techniques (ITP), emphasis continued to shift from the initial Major contract at Systems Development Corporation to work performed by institutions in the Boston area; 1964…Behavioral Sciences and IPT were divided into separate offices

Licklider set the tone as the first IPTO director from 1962 to 1964; Roberts, who had succeeded Robert Taylor as IPTO director in 1969…Roberts left in September 1973; he returned to success Larry Roberts for a second tour from 1974 to 1975; Ivan Sutherland (the former director of IPTO); Amarel began to campaign for a reorganization f SC. After several false starts, he prevailed on Duncan in March 1986 to fuse IPTO and EAO into one office that would be responsible for both technology base and applications work. By April 15 Amarel and Kelly had agreed to merge their operations in an Information Science and Technology Office (ISTO). Amarel would be Director; Information Processing Techniques Office (IPTO) nor its successor after 1986, the Information Systems Technology Office (ISTO); He reunited the Information Processing Techniques Office of the Engineering Applications Office…new institutional entity, the Information Science and Technology Office; [chapter 6] [ISTO] 87. The successor to the Information Processing Techniques Office (IPTO), created when IPTO and the Engineering Applications Office (EAO) were merged in 1986.

DARPA The Information Processing Techniques Office (IPTO) is dedicated to developing advanced information processing and computer communications technologies for critical military and national security applications. In its area, IPTO's research program is the largest in the Federal government and includes both basic research and exploratory development. IPTO's central purpose is to advance the technology and options for its application to command, control, and communications (C3), intelligence (I), and military information processing. IPTO's first area of interest in basic research focuses on artificial intelligence, system software and architecture, the design and architecture of integrated circuits, and advanced network concepts. The questions posed by artificial intelligence—how can machines replicate or expand the capabilities of human intelligence and how can this knowledge be best represented and utilized in a computer—are at the center of the problem of developing expert programs for application in remote, autonomous systems, such as emplaced sensor transmitters or "smart" weapons. Research on integrated circuit design is addressing the revolutionary possibilities of more efficient, nontraditional circuit architectures which permit parallel rather than sequential processing. Additional research is addressing the fundamental question of what designs and design techniques on computer chips are appropriate for the million-plus-gate integrated circuits of the future. A critical related question deals with the capability of producing working chips in a timely fashion. Since integrated circuit fabrication usually takes many months, IPTO is supporting efforts to develop a network-based methodology for rapid turnaround and implementation from design to packaged chip. The size of the IPTO research effort reflects both the scope and increasing sophistication of information processing and computer technologies. If the conventional battlefield of the next two decades emphasizes the dispersal and mobility of military resources, it will also impose ever greater requirements on the management of these resources. More information and more sharing of information than ever before will be needed at all echelons. The same is true on a far larger scale in the processing of intelligence data from numerous and varied sources. Finally, advanced "smart" weapons of the next twenty years may need to be launched from stand-off platforms and, to avoid interception or capture, will need to be self-guiding. Such "smart" weapons will require an on-board, autonomous capability to collect and process information to guide them to their targets while avoiding attack. The technological requirements and applications needs of such promising systems are diverse. System architecture for ensuring system security is a central concern. Research to facilitate the use of information processing in strategic and tactical situations is exploring the possibilities of decomposing speech and data into discrete packets for transmission and reassembly over shared packet-switched networks. Because such networks will need to be comprehensive and will handle large amounts of data, IPTO is supporting research on effective communication algorithms and management protocols for large-scale networks. The ramifications of these and many other possible applications of these advanced technologies are far from being fully comprehended. Continued R&D efforts are being pursued to realize and exploit the revolutionary opportunities to enhance U.S. defense and national security capabilities in information processing and computer communications.
